OK, just my 2¢, but if that's the case then the DVD sales links shouldn't be on the affiliate tours.
Also, I'd feel much better about the newsletter signup form if the cookie were at least 30 days. CCBill lets you set it as high as 255 days. My experience tells me that few surfers signup on the first visit, most take the tour 3 or 4 times before they join. A 7 day cookie, when you're sending them an email with links back to the site, means that I'm rarely going to get credit for any of those surfers. Also, if you're using your own affiliate code in links back from the newsletter, then the cookie length is irrelevant, as I'd never get credit for any of those surfers.
I'm not trying to be a hard ass, but traffic is a finite resource, and I'm going to send mine where I think I have the best chance to get paid for it.
